310 | John W. Warner IV Add three Rolls Royces into the deal and well consider it, said Alice seriously, her mind wandering the romantic Old World streets of Buenos Aires. Bea examined the weighty ring. Amen to that, sister. Soon the war will end, said Geer in a dire tone. The Allies will eventually make an armistice once an atomic weapon is dropped on Moscow as an example to all concerned. Gerlach said his fellow physicists in Germany are close to building a thorium-229, plutonium, and uranium weapon of ten kilotons yield using centrifuge isotope enrichment, probably no more than a year away at most since Farben has a chemical laser in operation, and youd better believe the Bear can deliver the twelve ton bomb efficiently from extreme high altitude. Secret agreements are being made this moment in Berlin, Washington, Bern, and London. No one will actually win this conflict, but the war will end with certain small portions of the Nazi Party and the SS intact only in Argentina…but no Hitler, nein. Goring is slated for chancellor. Bormann wants to live in Buenos Aires. A holding action, theyll call it in secret, a permanent armistice, the Russians halted for good at the Volga River or else smaller one-kiloton uranium Nehelwerfer lodssts will be used on them en masse-, Waffen SS units have tested one already. What? asked Bea in disbelief. Bernie put both palms on the table. Youre lying. Theres no way Suddenly emotional, Schafer stud: Huge casualties! An entire Red artillery battalion wiped outwe saw a classified film of it. We emptied our stomachs on the floor, images of limbs and arms, pieces falling everywhere, melted guns and artillery, civilians horribly burned. The Heavy Gustav railway gun lobbed a crude, seven-ton experimental atomic shell on a Russian ammunition bunker at Sevastopol recently, and the operation was under the overall command of your cousin Manstein. Thats just swell, said Bea. An atomic shell? asked Bernie in disbelief. Are you sure they Geer added: A massive fission explosion resulted, and the Russian battalion surrendered soon after, sick and irradiated. Theres plenty of uranium in the Sudetenland and Silesia, and now the SS physicists can purify it easily. Now listen, new technology will be shared only with the Allies, a select portion only. Ask Gerlach, as a senior Thule member he knows the full list of secret weapons under development. You were right, Bernie, whispered Alice.
